The Genoa Courier is anxious to
learn something about evergreen
nillet, when it should be sown and
whether it will survive our Win
tiers. The Silver State can inform
the Courier that j. w. Brown of
Coyote Creek, near Unionville in
this county, sowed some of the mill
let on his ranch some years ago,
having been informed that it would
withstand oar dry Summers and
cold Winters. The grass grew
luxuriantly the first season, and q
bunch of it some six feet long was
sent to this office. 1t did not sur
vive the Winter, however, and Mr..
Brown is satisfied from his expert
ence with the gras. that it is not
adapted to a dry climate as the
roots do not run down like alfalfa,
but spread out near the surface of
the ground.-Silyer State.

Wizard Oil at Geo. Thaxter's.

No other medicine is so reliable
as Ayers Cherry Pectoral for colds,
coughs, and all arrangements of
the respiratory organs tending
toward consumption. In ordinary
cases it is a certain cure, and it af-
fords sure relief for the asthmatic
and consumptive, even in advanced
stages Of disease.
IF a well be poisoned, woe be
to those who drink thcreat. 1t is
worse to poison the fountain of life
for ones self, and for posterity.
Often by carelessnsss, or misfor-
tune, or Inheritance, this has been
done. Ayers Sarsa parilla frees the
blood, the vital stream, and restores
appetite, strength, and health.

rMR TUNNEL MORTGAGES.
some Queer statements I'm the
San Francisco Papers.

The following appears in the San
Francisco Chronicle of Friday:
A telegram was received in this
city from Carson, today, stating
that the application of Eastern
stock holders of the Sutro Tunnel
Company, represented by Palmer &
Lowengard of New York, to be al
lowed representation by separate
counsel in the suit now pending
against the company, brought by
McCalmont Bros, of London, Eng,
for the foreclosure Of mortgages ag-
gregating 1897, 800 50, on which
$3.50, 900 interest had accrued, was
denied.
The above telegram must have
been sent by some one who had a
very imperfect knowledge of the
facts. The case came up IN judge
Sabin's Court in this city, and was
argued. The Court took the mat
ter under Amusement, and gave the
attorneys until March End to file
briefs. The decision was reserved.
There is also an article In the
Daily Report stating that the num-
Der of shares were 1000, whereas
they number 100000. McCalmont
& Co., the firm which advanced the
first money to the tunnel instituted
the suit to foreclose, but the New
York stockholders are working
hard to prevent the foreclosure.
asking for three months time.
They make a showing of I65, 5000
shares of the stock, but the opinion
is that they have large blocks Of
stock In the background.
The New York stock holders be-
lieve that the earnings of the
company are sufficient to pay a
reasonable interest on the Invest
ment and have been quietly at
work gathering in stock, aud are
believed now to be in a position to
revolutionize the Board of Trustees
at the annual meeting to be held
next month.
The Chronicle says: 1t was ru-
mored that John Mackay and j. G.
Flood were in league with Eastern
capitalists and contemplated buy
ing the tunnel, and this was re-
garded as indicative of a new bo-
nanza, but Mr.. Flood emphatically
denied this yesterday. He assured
the reporter who asked him that he
had no pecuniary interests in the
mines, and would not consider any
further proposition locking to fur
Their investments in that direction.
1t is generally believed in Ne
vada, however, that the mining
companies have dubbed together
to purchase the tunnel, for they
have figured that with the ore now
in sight it will be cheaper to
purchase the tunnel than pay the
royalty. Fair and Makay years
ago offered Sutre six millions for
the tunnel, which offer was refused.
The decision of Judge Sabin, when
rendered, will doubtless effect the
market materially, for if the pesi-
ton of the New York stock holders
is denied the tunnel will pass into
the hands of the mining Gem panies.

 Thy way through starlit space than aught else borni From world to world upon thine unseen pin With mighty sweep thou silently dos. The boundaries that gird thy vast domin- ions

One Feast Spoiled.

This lively description of an African monarch appears in Blackwood's Nigga zinc for October: Tho Bangalas are a fine race physically, being tall, powerful and splendidly formed. The chief of Iboko, when I arrived, was an old man over 8o-his age was reported by some to be s4, by others se-who had lost one eye in battle and possessed 30 wives. He was over six feet high, with fine, we'll developed figure, and, but for his dirty white hair and shrivelled skin, would have passed for man of half his age. He was much attached to Capt. Coquilhat (named ''Mwafa' or the sEagle'' by the natives), and never ,unt4ettcek anythiass without consulting him., Tie scene just after our arrival at BangSaa a-when, 'Le Roi des Ban galas" being announced as we were all eitting over our after-dinner coffee, Mata Bwyki entered, wearing his royal hat of leopard skin and attended by several of his wives, and enfolded Capt. Coquilhat, gold spangled uniform and all, in an ample bears hug-was really worth sce- ing. Having released "Mwafa," his Ma iesty made the circuit of the table to shake hands with the rest of us, and t1cn ordered s.sMes damesl les sauv- agcsses" to bring in ~~tfie malafu (palm wine), which he thereupon helped the company to drink He was tremen. dous topper, consuming quantities of that comparatively innocuous beverage which would have killed him 10 times over had it been anything stronger and more civil ized. His death, which took place some three months after I first saw him, was sn occasion of great excitement among tho Bangalas. As it is their custom on the death of chief to kill and eat as many men as the deceased had wives one to be supplied by the parents of each wife = the whole town was anticipating big feed; but alas how uncertain are the joys of lifel That big feed never came off; for the officer in command, hearing of Mata Bwyki's death, prepared coffin lined with red cloth and telling the Ban galas, that as the late king had been a sfbig friend of the white men," the 'Mindeli'' would bury him with appro- priate honors, had him safely boxed, nailed up, and buris5 seven foot deep before any one could interfere. The appointment was great for it is the GUS tom to cut the dead man in two lcngthwise, make up an entire corpse of half of him and half of one of the mon Killed at the funeral and bury this. The remaining half is made into stew with manioc and bananas and eaten along with the rest of the sacrifices.

Gruyere Cheese.

The centre of the Gruyere cheese in- 1agtry is in Franche- Comtc, in the Jura Gruyerc cheeses arc sold in large fattencd disks, which in the trade arc called wheels. A wheel of Franche- Comte Gruyere weighs generally from 30 to B kilogrammes (66 to 77 pounds). It takes quantity of milk, varying, of course, according to its richness, but never less than 300 litres. Naturally there arc few farmers Especially on the higher mountains whence the cheeses originally camel who have herds large enough to obtain in one or even in two days enough milk to make one cheese. Thus, from time immemorial, the farm CTS of Franche- Comte have clubbed to- gcther in order to obtain the quantity of milk necessary. a--. -..#
 The farmers of each commune join to- gcther and form society, managed by an elected committee of generally five members. Nothing could be more primi- tive. Each member is bound in turn to mako a cheese at his own home, using the milk brought to him by his associ- atcs. This cheese remains his personal property. He is thus in debt to hls col leagues; but he emancipates himself by giving them on the following days all the milk of his own COWS. Everything is donc on very business like footing. Pieces of wood or notches arc used, like those employed by country bakers now a-days. Each member keeps notched list of his colleagues, and the accounts arc settled each day, as soon as the chcesemaker Qor the nonce) has received his milk.
 The preparation of Gruyere cheese re- quires great care. After the curding of the milk come the baking and the mash .ing of the curd, this latter delicate operation on which the success of the cheese depends. The first part of the ''c',eesemaking only takes a few hours, but afterward comes the long process of fermentation in the cellars, when during a space of four months, and sometimes six, the cheese must be turned, saltcd, and we'll rubbed on it's two sides. The salt gives flavor to the cheese and regu- lates the fermentation. --- Pall Mall Ga Zette

An AudaciOus F0rger.

With regard to forgers, we learn that their number, compared with other classes of criminals, is small, only about two dozen men being recognized as ap- plying their talents as pcnmcn and en- grav,rs to the fabrication of spurious documents. Photography is largely cm- ploycd by them; and, by the irony of fate, the same art is. now used for their Identification. Their methods do not differ from those which have been detailed so often in our Courts of justice, SO that we need not dwell upon them. We may, however, refer to the clever manner in which one gang of forgers made tho English criminal in- vestigation department play into their hands. This gang had prepared an elaborate scheme for dcfrauding tho Eng fish banks by means of counterfeit circular notes. Shortly after they left New York by steamer en route for Britain, the scheme was discovered, and the English pOA1Cc WC1V AuIuASACA Uy htAuusAS CoOiO with all it's details. The forgers were, of course, ignorant of this. Their auda- cious leader, upon arriving in London, thought that it would be as we'll to make himself acquainted with the faces of the chief detectives, and, in the char acter of an American tourist, he paid them visit. They were so taken off their guard by the pleasant manner of the visitor that one of the officers not only told him of the impending frau |, but actually showed him the New York Telegram, which happened to be lying on a desk. It need hardly be said that the forger, thus warned, did not tarry long in the metropolis; he and his gang left London that night. -- Chambers Jour- nal

A Stunted Landscape,

To enter Japanese garlea is like wandering of sudden into one of those strange worlds we see reflected in the polished surface of concavc mirror, where all but the observer himself i, transformed iato fantastic miniature of the reality. In that quaint fairy land diminutive rivers flow gracefully under tiny treos, past molchill mount aims, till they fall at last into little artificial lakes, almost smothered for the flowers that grow upon their banks, while in the extreme distan ce of couple of rods the cone of fuji ten feet high looks approvingly down upon a scene which would be nation ally incomplete without it.

All competent observers in Russia agree in representing the condition of the peasantry since the emancipation of the serfs as very wretched. Each rural commune is responsible for the relief of its own poor, and Sir R. Morler, in a foreign office report just published, says that the officials are quite incapable of replacing all that was done for the peas- ants by the 1o3, 900 large landed pro- prietors whose interest it formerly was that their dependents should be able to work we'll and constantly. Since 1866, accordingly, there has been permanent famine in about fourteen provinces, and it is officially stated that in the larger provinces, such as Kursk, Tambow, and Kostroma, over 100, 900 peasants have abandoned the plots of eight acres each allotted to them. The number of beg gars in seventy one governments is given a 300, 900, of whom 1s2, 900 are peasant proprietors. The most hopeful remedy su sgested is the formation of labor colo nics, which have been successful is Gcrmany.

A Valuable White Topaz.

''Thc white topaz found near Pike's Peak is almost equal in value to the dia- mond, said an expert in precious stones to St. Louis Globe reporter. "Not many people know this; but I found a topaz on the banks of the Platte river this summer and sent it to lapidary in New York to have it cut. It weighed S2s carats, and the lapidary sent mo back word that he would give me $500. for it. Irefused the offer, aud investi- ga:ion disclosed the fact that if had sold the stone it would have found it's way into some of the large stores of the metropolis, where, put into innumerable small stones, it would have been offered for s,le as genuine diamonds. Clear white topaz is worth $9 carat. A three or four carat, we'll cut stone will cost you $50 or $40. The white topaz has the brilliancy and hardness of the diamond, and differs from it only in being somewhat transparent. Its angle of refraction differs only slightly from that of the diamond. It is rare, too"
